[QUOTE="snowflake56, post: 2560292, member: 871716"] TV used to be entertaining but now it's just depressing reality stuff. Recently I have not sat down and watched a tv programme all the way through. There used to be some brilliant shows back in the 60s-90s. There used to be bandstands, live comedy and you don't see that anymore. Watching TV was actually something, it would be an evening thing where we would see repeats of cartoons and new comedy sketches came out everytime, MTV used to show music videos and now most of it is just blank. Back then there was always something you could relate to and look at it in a positive aspect. i.e Grange Hill is one of my favourite shows ever. Some people may have got a bit upset because it portrayed school life but on the other hand, it was a good laugh especially the Tucker Jenkins years. But if you look at something like that now, it has people wanting to commit suicide instead of standing up for themselves. It's not something we want to be reminded of in real life. What has happened to tv? Why did everything go from being content to melodrama? [/QUOTE]
